Alchemical School
For years, we have been asked to teach Spagyric & Alchemical philosophy and practice, and we feel that the time has come for this expansion of our lineage. Our vision is an academy of Alchemical Arts, teaching Hermetic science and laboratory practice to serious students of the Work.
The first session of our School, beginning in May of 2010, is already filled. We will offer future sessions on a repeating cycle, following the outline below. Schedules and costs for the future years of the School will be updated as available, announced through our School mailing list. To join that list, sign up using the box on the right, making sure to select “Alchemical School” as an interest.
